Rooting/Unlocking Bootloader?

[RPK925]

Hi. Iam on ota 2.3.4. Do you need to unlock the bootloader in order to obtain root, & teathering? Also after i unlock the bootloader is there a rom that has root and teathering included without having to use adb commands? Rooting was easy on 2.2 but there seems to be alot more steps to root 2.3.4

Use preinstall root to gain root (eval gave script commands. Just copy and paste) unlock is not required. There are a few roms but not too many with built in root. I only know of kens gingerbread build

i believe the OTA update to 2.3.4 officially unlocks the bootloader.... someone may have to confirm.

you will not need to unlock bootloader in order to get root. they are independent.

No.
2.3.4 instead of unlocking the BP it updates it. And if you unlock and then flash sbf with older version of BP(1.8.3 or older), you will get a hard brick!!!
They didn't unlocked the BP officially.
Unlocking became from a leaked version of their 2.3.4 update!
See pudding thread in dev section for info.

Agree with root and unlocking.
